Benzene → 2-[2-(4-Methoxycarbonylmethylphenoxy)-1-methylethyl]amino-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure similar to that described in Example 6, but using 2 g of 2-amino-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanol (prepared as described in Preparation 11), 3.11 g of methyl 4-(2-oxopropoxy)phenylacetate (prepared as described in Preparation 3), 60 ml of benzene, 50 ml of absolute methanol and 2.3 g of sodium cyanoborohydride, 3.25 g of the title compound were obtained having an Rf=0.39 (thin layer chromatography over silica gel, using ethyl acetate as the developing solvent).
